Who doesn’t crave a little luxury in their lives? As Scott and I get older, we find ourselves enjoying the finer things in life more than we did when we were younger. Don’t get me wrong, we don’t need to be pampered every moment of every day — and we still love a good adventure — but there is nothing wrong with splurging on vacation.
One of our favorite things about small boutique hotels is the individuality of each one. Here are ten unique luxury escapes around the world.

137 Pillars House
If you’re looking to stay in a beautifully restored 19th-century teak wood building in Chiang Mai, then this is the spot for you. 137 Pillars House offers 30 luxurious suites, each with a vintage-tiled veranda overlooking the manicured gardens. One of their signature comforts includes picnic baskets with champagne to take with you on day trips.

Bella Luce is a 12th-century manor near St. Peter Port on the island of Guernsey in the United Kingdom. With their award-winning Garden restaurant, elegant suites, Tasting Room with a large selection of vintage whiskeys, and cozy log fires, it seems like the perfect place to warm up on even the coldest of days in the Channel Islands.

Ooo nice! Would love to visit Cappadocia.
I don’t usually go much for luxury (it’s a budget thing) – my idea of luxury is usually a place where I’m not sharing a room with someone. But maybe I ought to splurge a bit more now and again? Then again, I tend to travel for a week at a time maximum at the moment, because of work, which is fine for roughing it a bit.
Definitey something to think about once I’ve exited my current savings mode and I’m travelling long term – something to break up all the budget hostels!

Scott and I splurged a bit during our 2-month trip. It was definitely nice to have a break! Enjoy your big trip!
Thanks – looking forward to it! 🙂
I’ve always wanted to stay in one of the cave resorts of Cappadocia – looks like a cool hotel and a great region.
Me too! This one looks like it’s in the perfect spot.
